a practical guide to becoming a true pun master

accept that no pun is actually Good, but that the true nature of a good pun is to be so terrible that it becomes good.

say every pun that occurs to you. i’m so serious about this, sometimes the most well received puns will be ones you considered not saying.

ALWAYS laugh at your own puns, even if nobody else is. (especially if nobody else is.)

know that you are hilarious. puns are a limitless resource and you have taken it as your duty to bring this gift to humanity. you are a hero.

Tell me about your life as an artistic scientist

To be honest, it’s a bit confusing…

I try to do science and art comes out,

(I was supposed to be focusing on looking at a bunch of different tissue samples, not getting carried away drawing the slides.)

And when I try to do art, science comes out.

(I was just doing some animal sketches for class, but anatomy is just so pretty.)

Then, when I tried to combine the two, the reference was lost on my audience.

I was aiming to anthropomorphize the experiment done recently which electronically linked the brains of two lab rats. (I drew this as part of an in-class exercise. I drew the rats in the first phase, swapped comics with a classmate and they drew in the background.)

So, as I said; it’s a bit confusing, but honestly, I don’t mind; it makes it more interesting.

I noticed this cool spider web on someone's hedges this morning. I assume the bottom spherical thing is an egg sac, but I didn't know what the oblong bit was (for all I know it could have been a price of dried bird poop that got caught in the webbing). If anyone has any knowledge or guesses, let me know! Side note: I often take pictures of cool bugs, plants and (non-human) animals that I come across in my wandering about the city. I don't always know what they are, but I figure they're interesting enough to be worth sharing. I'll be collecting these posts under the tag "NYC nature walks", if that's of any use to anyone.
